UniGear ZS1
Double busbar system Back to back
Air insulated switchgear for power application

Each panel consists of two single

units connected in double busbar
arrangement. They can be equipped
with circuit-breaker or contactor as well
as with all the accessories available for
the conventional units of the switchgear.
Each panel is provided with a cubicle to
take the auxiliary instrumentation, placed
in the upper part.
There is the possibility to extend the
switchgear on both ends without putting
out of service the switchgear itself.
All the service operations are carried out
from the front.
All the significant components are
identical to those used for the single
and double level units and therefore
the same service and maintenance
procedures are guaranteed.
